The Green Bay Packers[1] hold the longest consecutive NFL title streak with three consecutive crowns, which they accomplished on two separate occasions: once in the 1920s, before postseason games were introduced, and once in the 1960s, which included winning seven playoff games and the first two Super Bowls.
The New England Patriots[2] hold the record for most consecutive playoff games won, with ten postseason wins in a row from 2001–2005 including three Super Bowl wins. The Patriots also hold the longest playoff appearance streak, with 11 consecutive appearances from 2009 to 2019. The second-longest such streak is the Kansas City Chiefs' active streak of 10 consecutive appearances from the 2015 season to the present.
